nineteen million

The happiness for the new beard year did not even last one week for me. My little sister was taken from us unexpectedly — suddenly and without warning. The loss has been too difficult to bear. Understandably, updates to beards.org ground to a halt. Normally, I would see when the gallery views counter hits another million. This time, I did not. I figure, however, that it was most likely on January 9th.

Right now, I cannot feel any optimism for 2012. But I have to carry on. The sixteenth anniversary of “all about beards” is only days away now. In my sister’s honor, somehow, I will do everything I can to make it the best year yet for beards.org and to surpass that each year that follows.

I know the pain is great right now and it’s hard to make sense of a tragedy such as this. I believe that everything happens for a reason and a sovereign God works all things for the good of those who love Him.

I’m sorry for your loss. Please know, beards.org brings joy into the lives of many individuals. Take care of yourself and keep up the good work!

Sorry for your loss. My thoughts go out to you and your family. This website brings me and millions great joy, I’m sure she is proud of you and smiling on somewhere out there. Take care of yourself and your loved ones in this time of mourning.
